With regards to the 18th century stately home, I was under the impression that it was purchased many years ago for pennies, and now effectively costs bmi absolutely zip, apart from a large heating bill. So I suspect a portacabin on the airfield would cost more.
Fortunatly I dont have GO's web site bookmarked, as it would appear to be spewing a lot of childish crap out at present. They don't appear to understand that objecting to someones route application is not exactly unusual, as they have done so in the past. However as reported on another thread they posted more moronic diatribe on their web site.
Me thinks this is all good healthy competition and good news for the midlands in general.
